Junior Ohio defensive end Jake Butt is going to be pulled in a lot of different directions by a lot of people claiming to know what's best for him over the next year. One thing he knows for himself, however, is the value of a great education. He's sees that at Duke University and that's one reason the Blue Devils are getting an early look from the Buckeye State standout.

With offers from Iowa, Maryland, Northwestern, Purdue, Syracuse and UCLA from the BCS ranks, as well as plenty of mid-majors and FCS schools, Butt has no shortage of interest. In fact, things are bound to get a lot more difficult and confusing for Butt before they start to clear up.
